Music style: Progressive classic rock.

How you know them: Kansas played Summer Celebration in 1996. Hit songs include "Carry On Wayward Son," "Dust in the Wind" and "Point of No Return." "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind" are considered classics.

Why I like them: " ... The intense lyrics and music that I have identified with since
I was a teenager."

Favorite lyric/song: "I have so much to say/ and yet I cannot speak/ Come do my bidding now/ for I have grown too weak/ My weary eyes have seen/ all that life can give/ Come to me, oh, young one/ for you can forgive" (from "The Pinnacle").
